This award-winning video examines the issues of housing and residency rights in Jerusalem and how they affect the Palestinian population in the city. Since it annexed East Jerusalem in 1967, the Israeli government has pursued a deliberate policy to limit the Palestinian population in the city, while at the same time seeking to increase the Jewish population. The video explores the Israeli policies of land confiscation, construction of Jewish settlements, denial of building permits, and the separation of Palestinian families. While the future of the negotiations between the Palestinians and the Israelis is uncertain, it is clear that the issue of Jerusalem will be one of the most difficult questions to resolve. _Jerusalem: An Occupation Set in Stone?_ provides crucial information to help understand the importance of Jerusalem to Palestinians.
